A dramatic canal-side scene from Leiden captures the tense aftermath of a devastating explosion, rendered with vivid detail and atmospheric light. This oil on canvas by Carel Lodewijk Hansen (1807) shows the Rapenburg three days after the powder ship blew up on January 12, 1807. On the bridge in the foreground curious onlookers and soldiers gather while a small group of officers confers to the left; behind them rise smoking ruins, a stark reminder of the disaster. Reproduced faithfully from the museum-held original, this print adds historical drama to living rooms, studies, or offices and makes a striking conversation piece or thoughtful gift.
